wat are electrical springs
Where did you first encounter that term?
spring analogue in electromagnetism (EM) is capacitor C. Spring constant k is equivalent to 1/C. Spring-mass-damper system is equivalent to RLC circuit: R is damper (friction), L is mass (inertia) and 1/C is spring constant. Both cases (mechanical and EM) are described by the same differential equation. The correspondence between mechanics and EM is : displacement x <--> charge q velocity v <---> electric current i force F <---> voltage (e.m.f) V mass m <---> Inductance L linear drag coefficient <---> resistance R spring constant k <---> 1/C reciprocal of Capacitance kinetic energy mv^2/2<---> magnetic field energy LI^2/2 potential energy <----> electrostatic field energy
